The tattoos he has been seen to sport are actually script tattoos, one near his ankle and one on his back. There is a rumour that the entire cast of one of his films got the tattoo done as a symbolic event or remembrance of the times they shared. The ankle tattoo is script and is small and almost unnoticeable. In the same way his back tattoo is almost the same in size and is not really attempted at grabbing eyeballs but rather a message to self kind of tattoo. John Ryes Davis is a very popular man and is self content and so are his tattoos.
